The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion for vessel B (denoted as \( \alpha_2 \)) given the apparent coefficients of volume expansion \( \gamma_1 \) and \( \gamma_2 \) for vessels A and B, respectively, and the coefficient of linear expansion for vessel A (\( \alpha_1 \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Apparent Volume Expansion**: The apparent volume expansion of a liquid in a vessel can be expressed as: \[ \text{True Expansion} - \text{Vessel Expansion} = \text{Apparent Expansion} \] This means: \[ \Delta V_L - \Delta V_C = \Delta V_{apparent} \] where \( \Delta V_L \) is the true expansion of the liquid, and \( \Delta V_C \) is the expansion of the vessel. 2. **Expressing True and Vessel Expansion**: The true volume expansion of the liquid can be expressed as: \[ \Delta V_L = V \cdot \gamma_L \cdot \Delta T \] The volume expansion of the vessel can be expressed as: \[ \Delta V_C = V \cdot \gamma_C \cdot \Delta T \] where \( V \) is the initial volume of the liquid. 3. **Setting Up the Equation for Vessel A**: For vessel A, we have: \[ \Delta V_L - \Delta V_C = V \cdot \gamma_1 \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the expansions: \[ V \cdot \gamma_L - V \cdot \gamma_C = V \cdot \gamma_1 \] Dividing through by \( V \): \[ \gamma_L - \gamma_C = \gamma_1 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \gamma_L = \gamma_1 + \gamma_C \tag{1} \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation for Vessel B**: Similarly, for vessel B, we have: \[ \Delta V_L - \Delta V_C = V \cdot \gamma_2 \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the expansions: \[ V \cdot \gamma_L - V \cdot \gamma_C = V \cdot \gamma_2 \] Dividing through by \( V \): \[ \gamma_L - \gamma_C = \gamma_2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \gamma_L = \gamma_2 + \gamma_C \tag{2} \] 5. **Equating the Two Expressions**: From equations (1) and (2), we can equate the two expressions for \( \gamma_L \): \[ \gamma_1 + \gamma_C = \gamma_2 + \gamma_C \] This simplifies to: \[ \gamma_1 = \gamma_2 \] 6. **Relating Coefficients of Linear Expansion**: The relationship between the coefficients of volume expansion (\( \gamma \)) and linear expansion (\( \alpha \)) is given by: \[ \gamma = 3\alpha \] Therefore, we can express the coefficients for vessels A and B: \[ \gamma_L = 3\alpha_1 \quad \text{(for vessel A)} \] \[ \gamma_L = 3\alpha_2 \quad \text{(for vessel B)} \] 7. **Setting Up the Final Equation**: Equating the two expressions for \( \gamma_L \): \[ 3\alpha_1 + \gamma_C = 3\alpha_2 + \gamma_C \] This simplifies to: \[ 3\alpha_1 = 3\alpha_2 \] 8. **Solving for \( \alpha_2 \)**: Thus, we find: \[ \alpha_2 = \alpha_1 + \frac{\gamma_1 - \gamma_2}{3} \] ### Final Result: The coefficient of linear expansion for vessel B is given by: \[ \alpha_2 = \alpha_1 + \frac{\gamma_1 - \gamma_2}{3} \]
